There's a saying going 'round and I begin to think it's true 
It's awful hard to love someone, when they don't care 'bout you 
Once I had a lovin' man, as good as many in this town 
But now I'm sad and lonely, for he's gone and turned me down, now 
I ain't got nobody and nobody cares for me 
I got the blues, the weary blues 
And I'm sad and lonely, won't somebody come and take a chance with me? 
I'll sing sweet love songs honey, all the time 
If you'll come and be my sweet baby mine 
'Cause I ain't got nobody, and nobody cares for me 
Won't somebody go and find my man and bring him back to me 
It's awful hard to be alone and without sympathy 
Once I was a loving gal, as good as any in this town 
but since my daddy left me, I'm a gal with her heart bowed down
